Comment on Statement by Eran Sadeh, founder of Protect the Child, Israel by voxinfantorum

Thank you Eran Maimonides had no reason to hide the truth in his time and everyone knew his personal circumcision status: “As regards circumcision, I think that one of its objects is to limit sexual intercourse, and to weaken the organ of generation as far as possible, and thus cause man to be moderate.”

The AAP Taskforce in 2012 does not have one foreskin among them but do not have the honesty to declare even the possibility of a personal conflict of interest against preserving the natural state.

Thank you, Eran Sadeh! I love honest, straight talk, especially when it protects children from abuse.

It is a horrible, horrible misconception to many living inside the bubble of their minute social circle that “men don’t complain about circumcision.”

Thank you for this information. I appreciate the social and societal pressures you face in speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Thank you!

Comment on BT FON – not a great business model by Tom

Tom — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:23:57 +0000

I spent nearly four hours on The phone to these guys trying to get five pound back after They charged me twice. I was transferred 26 times, hung up on 6 times and by The end of it I was still owed my five pound. I emailed customer care who has eventually agreed to give me my five pound back. I expressed how dissatisfied i was with The customer service and how i was considering getting bt wifi until now and They sent me an email back asking me to complete a questionnaire which consisted of “satisfied or dissatisfied”. They are a real Piss take and care nothing for these customers.

Comment on Online Collaboration by Thomas Bjelkeman-Pettersson

Hi Anke, fun that you would use us at Akvo as an example. Maybe I can provide some more input.

We use a number of tools to help us collaborate, just as you say. We are a small organisation, but very distributed. We have twelve people working from nine physical locations. Only four of use work in the same office, in Hague. Most of us work from home.

We use a number of tools to get our work done. Here is a partial list:

- Google Calendar
- Google Wave, fast moving documents like requirements analysis
- Google Docs, documentation, later transferred to the Mediawiki based Wiki
- Tender, for help documentation, support discussions
- iChat / Skype for video chat and chat (we use this a lot)
- Email, (of course) on our own mail server (Zimbra)
- Dropbox, for shared document storage
- WordPress / Drupal for blog and webpages
- Twitter, for status updates and giving the team and our wider collaboration teams a sense of what is going on, as well as bouncing ideas off each other (quite active on this)
- Highrise, a customer interaction database
- PHPlist, for mailings, with our own integration to Highrise

We are an online services organisation, so we develop software, which means we have a lot more collaborative tools around the software development, but describing that is for another time.

We experimented with a number of tools before we ended up with the above selection. Is it perfect? By no means. The advantage is that it is very flexible. The disadvantage is that there are quite a few systems, with poor or no integration sometimes.

The total monthly cost is US$35. Most of the tools are free. There is some admin involved, but nothing really major.

Could we replicate this functionality with a single tool? Unlikely, so for us it felt best to go with a “best of breed” solution for now.
